Short Statement: This is a revision of a currently approved public information collection review. There has been a change in burden estimates since the last time this collection was reviewed in November 2014. The number of respondents under Items 12 and 14 changed because the Government changed the variables upon which the final number is based. In the FY 2013 submission, the Government determined the total number of respondents for both the public and the Government to be an estimated ten percent of the total contracts awarded for that fiscal year. With this submission, the Government is able to query deeper into the Federal Procurement Data System data and define more discriminating data variables (i.e., unique vendor identification). The number of total responses and total hours under Items 12 and 14 also changed because they are based on the number of respondents (discussed above). The cost per hour for both Federal and contractor responses increased from $30.75 to $32 per hour because: (1) OPM has increased the GS hourly wage for a GS-9, step 5 employee since 2013, and (2) the total dollar amount is rounded to the nearest dollar, instead of cent.
